RIGID LIFELINES CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNING STATEMENT
1. Read, understand, and follow the manual, assembly drawings, and warnings provided with your system before
beginning installation.
2. This manual, and any other instructions, must be provided to the users of this equipment. The user must understand the
equipment’s proper use and limitations.
3. A fall event can result in serious injury or death. This equipment, when used properly, reduces the chances of those
outcomes.
4. Always perform a hazard analysis before use that will identify impact hazards, swing hazards, or any other hazards that
may exist. Address and correct all hazards before use.
5. Always have a written rescue plan that defines who will rescue a fallen worker, what equipment will be used, and
optimum rescue response time. If the same system will be used for rescue, a minimum of a two-man system must be
specified.
6. Follow all current requirements of ANSI Z359 (or CSA Z259 in Canada).
7. Each component and system must be employed and maintained in accordance with all OSHA and ANSI standards.
8. Per OSHA and ANSI (or CSA Z259 in Canada) requirements, designate a competent person who can fulfill obligations of
all regulations.
9. Note the maximum number of users and weight capacities are listed on a label on the system. Exceeding the capacities
listed on this label can result in serious injury or death.
10. Always check for overhead hazards, such as power lines, trees, overhead structures, or walls, before using or moving
system.
11. Any component replacement, addition, or change to any portion of the system must be evaluated by a Qualified Person
as defined by OSHA standards.
12. Never use this system for material handling.
13. Never use the system with scaffolding.
14. Never use the system alone without a monitor. Use the buddy system when using fall protection. The monitor, or
“buddy,” does not need to be attached to the system, but just nearby supervising.
15. Consult with a qualified person for minimum fitness requirements for workers. Determination of minimum fitness levels
of workers prior to use of system is by others.
16. For mobile systems—It is the responsibility of the user and their management’s Competent Person to determine that the
system’s base is level, the masts are plumb, and that the entire, leveled system is stable before every use.
17. For movable track systems—Always use the system in work spaces that allow you to move the system’s runway as close
as possible to the center of the work area.
18. Before each use, inspect the system for bent, broken, cracked, or missing components.
19. A competent person must thoroughly inspect the system annually and after each fall event.
20. There should never be any type of loading past the end stops for any reason.
21. When connecting track sections on runway systems, track splice and truss splice plates are required. For trussed track,
splice centers must be within maximum 48 inches of the hanger support centers unless otherwise specified. For plain
track, splice track centers must be within maximum18 inches of the hanger support centers unless otherwise specified.
22. Systems with flush clamp hangers do not require sway bracing. However, all systems mounted to the ceiling must be
laterally and longitudinally braced with sway bracing.

RIGID LIFELINES CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNING STATEMENT
23. If supplied, all drive systems are chain driven, and as a result, will experience some backlash in the drive assembly.
Although backlash cannot be fully eliminated, it can be reduced by tightening the drive chain. Torque limiters, if
supplied, require special attention. Most drive issues result from improper torque limiter adjustment or installation.
24. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that the system and components will work in and are acceptable for their
specific application and environment.
25. For foundation-mounted systems, bracing is not required for non-seismic applications. However, if any sway is
perceived as undesirable, lateral bracing can be installed to the system by others. To achieve desired rigidity for a
specific application, Rigid Lifelines® recommends consulting a professional engineer in your area to satisfy all codes and
ordinances. For foundation-mounted systems, chemical anchor bolts supplied by others are required and must provide
approximately 7000-pound pull-out force. More accurate pull-out forces are available upon request.
26. Engineering of any attachment points must be done by others.
27. Component appearances and dimensions shown are approximate and subject to change without notice. All catalog
dimensions are developed using standard components for the spans and capacities. Substitution of optional trolleys or
other components will affect certain dimensions.
28. All Rigid Lifelines Anchor Track™ Systems meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI requirements.
29. Never load the track at an angle greater than specified in the system’s user manual.
30. Never use the system with the attachment point below the D-Ring of the harness.
31. Only the following self-retracting lanyard (SRL) design specifications are acceptable for use on Rigid Lifelines Anchor
Track Systems:
a) 900-pound maximum average arresting force (MAAF)
b) 4.5 feet-per-second lock up speed
c) Disk or drum braking mechanism
d) Wire rope SRL’s can be used for indoor or outdoor applications
e) Fabric or web SRL’s can be used only for indoor applications
32. The following energy-absorbing lanyards are not acceptable: rip-stitch packs, shock packs, or stretchable energy.
33. Choose the shortest length SRL that will allow the workers to perform their job function. The shortest length SRL will
reduce total fall distance by reducing “cable cinching” on the internal SRL pulley. Fabric lanyards stretch under load. The
longer the lanyard, the longer the stretch.
34. Never use metallic cables or metallic SRL’s around electrical power sources.
35. Only an ANSI (or CSA in Canada) full-body harness is acceptable for use on Rigid Lifelines Anchor Track Systems.
36. Never use body belts on this system.
37. Never add additional carabiners, D-Rings, shackles, or connecting hardware to this system.
38. On Traveling Bridge Anchor Track Systems, always position the bridge(s) directly overhead of worker(s) at all times.
39. If a boom is provided, never apply a lateral load at the boom tip.
40. Never deviate from the above unless you have written permission and authorization from Rigid Lifelines.

the first checklist before each use and the second (OFF-CENTER) LOADING.
checklist for after a fall event and annual inspections.
This system must be used with an ANSI-rated self-retracting lanyard (SRL).
If the system is used outdoors, it is highly recommended that a steel cable SRL with
heavy-duty housing be used for improved durability against UV radiation and moisture.
A web strap ANSI-rated SRL may be acceptable for use as long as a Competent Person has
evaluated the situation and determined that there are no factors present that can have an
immediate negative impact on the integrity of the SRL’s webbing material AND that the
Competent Person inspects the condition of the SRL’s webbing and housing prior to each use.
Completely retracting the SRL after each use (e.g., using a
retrieval tagline) is essential: otherwise, the SRL’s internal
spring remains under tension, and it quickly loses its ability
to properly arrest a freefall.
Retrieval taglines must never be used as an anchorage;
doing so could result in serious injury or death.

the top right corner of the Ceiling-Mounted Monorail Assembly Drawing. Note that the quantity of components in
an assembly are multiplied by the number of the assemblies.
b) Check for damage to components that may have occurred during shipping.
REQUIRED BRACING
Refer to Figure 1 for Steps 1 Through 7
NOTE: Flush-mount applications do not require bracing.
1. Sway bracing is required for all ceiling-mounted monorail systems that use drop rods. Sway bracing resists lateral fall
arrest forces, reduces lateral stresses on drop rods, and prevents system hardware from loosening and wear due to cyclic
loading.
2. Sway bracing is required at each end of the system in both directions (laterally and longitudinally).
3. Intermediate bracing is required on one side of the monorail at each hanger assembly closest to the track splices (if
required).
4. Rigid Lifelines is not liable for design of supporting structures or attachments of system hangers and/or bracing to
supporting structures. However, Rigid Lifelines can provide the hangers and sway bracing pipe for the bracing. All
supporting structures must be designed by a qualified person using all applicable local, state, and national code
requirements.
1-800-869-2080 | Rigid Lifelines® Ceiling-Mounted Monorail Anchor Track™ System 35. Support structures of structural steel must be designed, fabricated, and/or erected per requirements of “American
Institute of Steel Construction” (AISC). Special attention must be given to the requirements for impact and deflection
forces to maintain the integrity of the complete building structure and system. The qualified person is liable for the final
design.
6. All bracing shown in Figure 1 is to be used as a guide only and should be considered as the minimum requirements for
the ceiling-mounted monorail systems that use drop rods. Minimum pipe diameter is one inch for systems with drop
rods. Systems with drop rods longer than 12 inches require special design attention by a qualified person.
7. Other bracing materials and designs may be acceptable if they are designed by a qualified person.
a ) NOTE: A qualified person must determine proper brace tube strength before installation.
